Breast Implant in Iran

This massage may feel uncomfortable at first, but breast implant massage can be very important. By doing this, the body naturally forms a thin inner membrane or “capsule” around the implant, which prevents your body from considering the implant as a foreign body. Massage also helps to reduce excessive firmness of the breasts. You should also massage the breast several times a day as your surgeon recommends to help implants to be placed in the right position.

“Although there are very few findings, several experiences show that the risk of capsular contracture increases in patients who do not massage their implants,” says Dr. Ibrahim Hatamipour, an Iranian plastic surgeon in Shiraz.

You should consult your doctor to find out what is the best way to massage your breasts and when to start implant massage. Sometimes this massage should last for weeks and sometimes months, and sometimes it may be recommended not to massage at all. For example, massage may not be required for textured implants.

When the swelling subsides and the implants move down to the right position, the breasts are full and desired which takes about 1-3 months. You may have heard that you have to do a breast implant replaced every 10 to 15 years, but says Dr. Elham Azarnoush, an Iranian plastic surgeon in Mashhad: “This is not necessarily true. If you do not have problems with your implants, you will never need to replace them and they are almost permanent.”

It is very important to monitor your implants regularly. Those who have saline implants can check the condition of their breasts just by looking in the mirror. Leakage in these implants will be obvious; Because after the implant is torn, its saline contents are absorbed by the body and its emptiness is visible. But the FDA recommends that women with silicone implants have an MRI every year for the first 3 years after the surgery and every two years thereafter. According to the FDA, breast implants do not necessarily last long and you may require reoperation.

In response to this question, Dr. Rabbani says: “There is no correct answer to this question. Breastfeeding will not be affected if the implant enters the breast through folds under the breasts. There is also no risk that the breast implant material, whether saline or silicone, will enter the breast milk and harm the baby in any way. However, I tell patients that this is a very personal choice and they are the only ones who have the right to decide on it. Maybe it’s better to delay your surgery for a while if you are planning to have a baby soon.

Most surgeons recommend postponing sex for two weeks after a breast implant. Having sex greatly increases your blood pressure and can cause blood to collect around the implant and cause a complication called a hematoma. After two weeks, you should carefully intercourse and avoid movements that put pressure on the implant. It takes about six weeks for your sex activities to return to normal.

Breast implants may interfere with the mammography in some patients, especially those who have a breast implant placed on the breast muscle or under the breast tissue. However, this problem is greatly reduced in submuscular implants. This is especially important for women who have a family history of breast cancer and need to be screened for breast cancer regularly. So, consult your doctor about this.

Your breasts will definitely change with pregnancy, but it will not ruin the results of the breast augmentation surgery. “Pregnancy does not damage implants, but it can cause excess, loose skin,” says Dr. Marshall T. Partington, a plastic surgeon in Seattle. The best thing to do is to wear a suitable bra during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and after delivery and breastfeeding, if necessary, perform mastopexy or breast lift.

The thin inner layer or “capsule” formed around the breast implant sometimes tightens. This condition is known as capsular contracture. After contracture, the implant can deform and cause pain. There are several treatment options available after this complication, but removing the implant or replacing it is the best way to treat capsular contracture.

The experience is the most important factor in choosing a plastic surgeon for breast implant surgery. While all plastic surgeons can do this, not all of them have enough experience in this field. In addition to the surgery you choose, the clinic where you perform the surgery is also very important. Remember to choose a center that is reputable and has the latest equipment in the world in the field of breast implants.

Iran is among the top 10 countries in the world in terms of the number of cosmetic surgeries performed. Over 200,000 cosmetic surgeries are performed annually in Iran. In the last decade, breast augmentation surgery has also increased significantly in Iran. A study published in the American Journal of Cosmetic Surgery shows that breast implant surgery is one of the 5 cosmetic surgeries performed in Iran. Accordingly, Iranian surgeons have gained more in-depth information about this operation, and due to their high experience, the results of the operation obtain a higher level of satisfaction. In addition, most Iranian plastic surgeons are board-certified and are members of the Iranian Society of Plastic Surgeons, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, or the International Society of Cosmetic Plastic Surgery.
